My painting process is intuitive and from the heart, as I have had no formal training per se. However, my parents, having been both respected artists in their own right fueled my passion for art.

     I am very connected with nature, intrigued and very aware of my environment, which is my main source of inspiration. Whether in my garden, during my global travels, or the south shore coastal area where I live, I am continually inspired to paint by the wonder of the world around me.

     I paint what I see and am fascinated with color, form, texture - the play of light and shadow on almost anything - the randomness nature possesses.

     Capturing the essence of my subject is my goal, achieving this feeds my soul and stimulates all of my senses. Stirring another's spirit is the ultimate of satisfaction, with each painting having it's own message, speaking to the viewer who is impassioned by their own personal interpretation of my work.

     Once we are no longer on this earth, we leave in our wake a trail. With my art, I hope to leave such a trail - having created a continual source of pleasure, a sense of calm, the endless power to evoke feelings with the passage of time.
